Timuri said he was living an unhealthy lifestyle, not drinking enough water and not getting enough sleep.
She believes that these factors and the stress of studying caused her dark circles.

“Towards the end of the study, as my symptoms visibly worsened, I decided to take action and try to lighten the symptoms.”
